stuck in emergency mode /etc/fstab wont save changes

[PuffX]

When I try to comment out or delete the offending line in /etc/fstab using nano, It wont save the changes after reboot
im stuck google,gemini,chat gpt all of that for hours and still cant understand why it wont save the changes

Can you record the boot process? Perhaps with the debug kernel arg?

cant add the whole video the boot looks fine the only error i saw was this
i go in fstab with nano comment out save the file and when i reboot i get the same error, after i enter fstab the changes are not saved(after reboot)

What if you use systemctl default there as it suggests and edit the fstab after it's booted? To avoid this issue you can add nofail option to the mount options.

After doing systemtcl default it asks for the password, stays in emergency mode. Can’t get it to boot with and without no fail added
Could it be that the ssd with proxmox got corrupted or stuck? I faintly remember a long time ago I tried adding a VM in and after a reboot it was gone(long time ago)
also tryed mount -o remount,rw / with no change

Maybe, but I'd expect it to show something different.
Was this perhaps a mount unit? PVE creates those if you format a disk via Disks > Directory for example.
systemctl default after logging in with root password or simply CTRL+D should still work.
if not try systemctl mask mnt-media.mount or systemctl disable mnt-media.mount after logging in.
What does cat /etc/fstab and find /etc/systemd -name "*.mount" or systemctl list-units --type=mount look like?

il be honest i dont have any idea what im doing...
i cant remember if its a mount unit
i can tell you that its a mix of 2 hard drives i merged to get more storage i unmounted them from proxmox and gave them to a vm i made after i rebooted i got in this pickle
when i do systemctl default in the emergency mode the only thing that happens is that it asks for the root password once more
im afried i dont have enough tech knowledge to concatenation the problem
im willing to give you any information you need to help me resolve the problem
thank you for taking the time to hhelp me understand what i broke and how lol

systemctl default comes AFTER entering the password. I've since edited my post with more information that will hopefully help.

Dude thank you so much! I got past the emergency mode thank you so very much!
ctrl d brings me straight to emergency mode immediately
I got into proxmox by doing as followed:
Entering the password
Doing the mask mint-media command then ctrl d and it boots into proxmox
Thing is when I reboot once more it goes back into emergency mode and I have to do the steps all over again(maybe a mask thing il learn about it)
From here on I think il manage by myself il try to debug it and learn a bit more about proxmox
Once again I’m really greatfull for your help! I was really worried.. if I won’t be able to resolve this issue on my own I’ll contact you. Main thing is I’m in proxmox

Check if you can see the media mount/disk in node > Disks > Directory and remove it if necessary.
